AIR is Ohio state testing in the areas of Social Studies and Science, ELA and Math
Here are links to help prepare students for the test. They show how to log on and how to use the tools available.
Practice Site Guidance Document
This document provides guidance for the online practice tests and released items, including an overview of the available tests, how to sign into the Student Practice Site, and the available features.
Student Testing Site Tutorials
These tutorials provide information about the online Student Testing Site. Part 1 walks through the student sign-in process and navigation. Part 2 covers the tools available to students.
Please note there is audio so speakers or headphones are needed.
Science Tools
Three additional tools are available in the Student Testing Site and Practice Test Site for the Physical Science tests. The reference sheet and periodic table can be downloaded and printed. The scientific calculator is fully functional and identical to the calculator available in the tests.

Science and Social Studies Assessments Test Sessions - AIR OCBA [Ohio Computer Based Assessments]
Students taking online tests for Science, ELA, Math and Social Studies will be using the AIR platform. Students who had a chance to try the technology tools in advance felt most comfortable when they participated in testing last year.
From the home page on the top, red toolbar menu choose Resources – Student Practice Resources-Student Tutorial and Tools – this demonstrates features of Ohio’s Computer Based Assessment test delivery platform
From the home page, go to the lower right corner, click on Practice Tests – this provides actual practice tests for Science and Social Studies in the format that the students will see them
Earth Science Resources for the OGT
The Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) in Spring of 2015 will be dual aligned, meaning that this OGT will still contain questions around Earth Science content. In districts that have realigned to Ohio’s New Learning Standards, students taking the OGT this year may have missed Earth Science content. In order to help these students (and their teachers), the Ohio Department of Education has worked with the Ohio Resource Center to collect Earth Science Resources that will address these gaps.
